Well I did make it again on a 2nd attempt and followed the base sauce instructions to the exact "t" but used a yellow bell pepper instead of a green one as didnt have another green bell pepper. I like my currys sweet, do you think the base will be ok to use on my 2nd attempt where I did it all perfect except use a yellow bell peper rather than a green one?
I will be using the curry base for Rogan josh and Dopiaza

Sorry, I was really referring to your 1st attempt. With your 2nd attempt, substituting yellow capsicum for green capsicum is unlikely to make a huge difference (provided, as you say, everything else is done correctly) so I would use it. But I'd still make another, exactly to spec, for a "true" comparison.

Thanks, no I did not add the ginger as really dont like the taste of it. So will try the 2nd attempt in next two days or so using one of the recipes on the forum. I will let you all know how it goes of course. Fingers crossed.

I'm going to give this a try today. I've made gravies before but with much larger quantities. Typically 5kg of onions. I was always under the impression that larger quantities give a more authentic BIR flavour. I will give this smaller quantity a go a see how it compares.

Fantastic, rich, tasty, sweet, mildly spiced, and the quantities are perfectly proportioned. Made twice now, and both times I've been very satisfied. The second time i felt confident enough to up the quantities with hardly any extra time or effort. I only ever used to cook Indian food on the weekends. With this system it's opened up the whole week!
